The golden era of sound: performing on Stradivari's Antonius
In short: Experience the rich resonance of 'The Antonius,' a violin crafted by Antonio Stradivari during his legendary golden period. This video features concert violinist Eric Grossman performing Bach's Chaconne to showcase the instrument's unique voice.
The performance features the Chaconne from J. S. Bach's Partita no. 2 in D Minor, a work composed between 1685 and 1750. The instrument, known as 'The Antonius,' was made in 1717, falling within Stradivari's most celebrated era of production from approximately 1700 to 1720. This violin is one of three Stradivari instruments held in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, which was made possible by the 1933 bequest of Annie Bolton Matthews Bryant.
